Exercise For My Brain While We Exercise On Our Walks

I've been doing this thing over on Instagram. If we're connected there, you will possibly have already seen it. I call it "A Pup and A Plant Series." On our walks, I try to remember plant names, then I take a photo of Rita next to the plant, and try to do a little word-play caption.I've done quite a few, so here are a chunk of them.Rita and red roses.

As you can see, they started off pretty simple, but after a while you really have to start working the ol' brain to come up with something new (or to remember the plant names! Cuz I have CRS*!)I have a bunch more that I've already done on IG and some waiting in the wings. And some ideas where I still need to find the plant so I can take a photo! It's definitely good exercise for my brain while we're out getting our exercise!
Rita's been a trouper through it all!

Can you think of any plants - fitting captions - I could throw into the rotation?

Thanks! I don't know tons of plants, but I know a good number. Sometimes I have to text a pic to my sis and say "What's this??" And hope I can come up with a caption for it! (She's really good with plant names!)

It's the sheer number of WW posts you've done though... I mean, that's just amazing! Every week I think "Will this be the week when Wilson runs out of WW posts?" (Hey that could be one...) But you seem to have an endless supply! (And agreed - can't think pre-coffee.)

What a cool thing to do. I know almost nothing about plants so I'd totally be lost. I really love looking at the pictures of Rita though. I think I like the Calandrinia spectabilis succulent one best. Rita looks so dreamy in that one.

I can't decide which one I like best. The "stone cold killer" is my fave caption, but I love the photo on the statice plant one because I'd already decided on the caption I wanted before taking the photo, and I couldn't believe that she struck the perfect "stately" pose.

All of them are great but my favorite caption is the last one, dusty miller & a stone-cold killer (Then you have a list of things she has killed). I had to laugh out loud at that one when I saw it on IG :D

I've seen some of these, what fun! That's my problem with exercise - it can be boring and I need my brain to be engaged. What a great way to do that. I'll try to think of one when I'm on my next walk! :)

Well, mom enjoys looking at all the different plants and pretty gardens people have, and there's the park so lots of pictures with me and plants. Problem is she has no idea what they are called! Love Dolly

What a great idea to do that! That's a fun way to see & learn about beautiful plants & explore the neighborhood. I bet Rita is having just as much fun as you are. Bessie, my minion Basset would love to go walking with Rita. Mew Mew!

haha. Yes, she has a list. I fear the neighbor's cat might be on the list... so need to keep them apart! (Actually - she'd probably like to think the cat is on the list, but once the cat turned and hissed at Rita, and Rita screamed like a little girl, and it literally echoed down our canyon. So embarrassing.)
